Vai, Sheehan and Bissonette were on fire.
Eat em and smile and the above mentioned video were on heavy rotation in our house.
I read his book back then too. An interesting read, even if only half of it was true.
Saw him again post Vai (A little ain’t enough tour) But the volume level was so high that all I remember was leaving disappointed and not being able to hear anything for about a week.
I don't think either side ever did anything as good again - Van Halen with Hagar lost the old VH snappiness, the songs got long, meandering and boring. Roth kept changing band members and never recaptured the magic of Eat 'Em and Smile.
Of the two albums, I think 5150 has dated more.... all those synths. Eat 'Em and Smile still sounds great.

Absolutely exhausting.
How Eddie and Alex didnt suffocate him with a pillow on tour is surprising
If I picked 3 VH albums for a journey they would be 1984, 5150 and this one.
The DLR story I was going to post before was something I’d read online since Eddie’s passing. Although DLR pretty much attempted to shag his way around the world apparently he was fairly chivalrous and in the times on tour in the 70s when anyone female was ‘fair game’ he’d protect the younger and more vulnerable women.
Have just finished the book by the Producer Ted Templeman, which covers this period in a lot of detail. Well worth a read. It really gives you the full details about 1984, the Roth EP, the split and Eat em and Smile. After years and years it's nice to know the truth about what happened.
